About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

The City of Midland requires sidewalk contractors to post a $1,000 surety bond before building or repairing public sidewalks. Sidewalks sit in the public right of way, so the bond is a workmanship and restoration guarantee: it stands behind your sidewalk work meeting city standards and not leaving public property damaged.

It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the City of Midland (the obligee). If a contractor pours a defective walk, fails to meet ADA or city standards, or damages the right-of-way, the city can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Contractors who pour to standard treat the bond as a permit formality, not a risk.

The $1,000 amount is set by the city; confirm your exact requirement with the city and we will issue the bond to match.
